The use of hexokinase in the first pathway happens in the muscle. In the other
hand, the use of fructokinase in the second pathway happens in the liver.
Galactos
Galactokinase
is used
Galactose-1-phosphate
UDP-glucose
Galactose-1phophate
uridylyl
transferase is
used
UDPgalactose4epimerase
is used
NAD+
Glucose-6phosphate
Glucose-1-phosphate
UDP-galactose
Phosphoglucomutase
is used
Explaination
1. Galactose is phosphorylated at C1 by ATP in a reaction catalyzed by
galactokinase.
2. Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyl transferase transfers the uridylyl group
of UDP-glucose to galactose-1-phosphate to yield glucose-1phosphate and UDP-galactose by reversible cleavage of UDPglucoses pyrophosphoryl bond.
3. UDP-galactose-4-epimerase convert UDP-galactose back to UDPglucose. Ths enzyme has an associated NAD +, which suggests that the
reaction involves the sequential and reduction of the hexose C4 atom.
4. GIP is converted to the glycolytic intermediate G6P by action of
phosphoglucomutase.

Mannose
Mannos
Hexokinase
is used
Mannose-6-phosphate
Phosphomannose
isomerase is used
Fructose-6phosphate
Explaination
1. Hexokinase converts mannose to mannose-6-phosphate.
2. Phosphomannose isomerase then converts this aldose to the glycolytic
intermediate F6P in a reaction whose mechanism resembles that of
REFERENCE
phosphoglucose isomerase.
